Best Halibut baits?

Looks like work may be slow this week so what's a guy to do?
 GO FISHING!
I may make to to Tomalas bay this week, work permitting,
What is the go to bait to catch a flatty?
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks

Well, I just returned from a halibut trip and got skunked, so you might not want my input(lol)- but I rotate between:

Trolling a frozen herring on a circle hook with a size 2 treble stinger behind a flasher
Drifting live shiners or live anchovies on 3-way with ball
White 6 inch Big Hammer swimbait with a red Andy1976 jig head

I'm throwin' the glow B2-squid in there too, just because I would eat one of those if I were a halibut.

White or Yellow 6 inch swimbait
Whole Squid (live, then fresh dead, then frozen)
Live Mackerel (or herring or sardine)

The 1st two are easy to come by.  If you can catch the 3rd, use it!!!

Thanks for the info

I've seriously seen guys work a rattle trap off the bottom n got a Hali to bite. I'm investing in a lot of rattle trap shiner lures.

Halibut will bite anything you drop in front of them if they are hungry. It's not the what, it's the where and when.

Piski caught one on a green kush ball a few years back. 
I've caught them on live anchovies, live shiners, live sardines, swimbaits and scampis from white to red to black. I think Bushy caught a hawg on an iron down in Sur.

drift two different baits and cast one?  as long as they're not macks. I don't think I could handle fishing two macs off a kayak at the same time.

I think its mainly the tides that play the biggest role.

Right on, Scott.

I've heard some are using P-line lazer minnows and jigging or drifting, anyone used them? Are you trolling the BH with andys heads?
Thanks
